anarlog: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/qa-cli-mcp-api/SKILL.md

qa-cli-mcp-api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fastrepl/anarlog. It costs 47 tokens per session (2,944 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A risk-based testing guide for a command-line tool, webhooks, a local MCP connection, a hosted API, and a remote MCP connection. MCP is a way for applications to expose tools that an agent can call.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test command parsing and output, webhook signing and retries, MCP communication, API behavior, or targeted regressions after a code change.
Why use it?
It helps choose tests that match the changed part of the system, so small changes do not require unrelated testing. It also identifies when a real client or deployed service needs a live check.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is fastrepl/anarlog's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on anarlog itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything anarlog configures →

About the project

anarlog is a local-first AI meeting notetaker that captures device audio, transcribes meetings, and stores notes, transcripts, and recordings on the user's computer. It is for people who want meeting notes without adding a bot to calls or sending conversation data to an external cloud. The catalogue entries provide agent integrations and workflows for the application.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

qa-cli-mcp-api scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 290 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

QA: CLI, MCP, and API

Default to the smallest set of programmatic-interface lanes that can prove the change. Automated tests are necessary but do not replace a live smoke test when the changed boundary is only exercised by a real client or deployment.

This QA workflow is independent from releasing. A release request alone does not invoke it, and its results do not approve or block a release.

Choose the scope first

Inspect the exact branch, commit, or diff and map changed code to its direct consumers before creating fixtures or credentials. In a GitButler workspace, use but status and but show <commit-or-branch>; do not use the synthetic workspace HEAD as the candidate or combine unrelated applied branches.

Find the original reproduction in the current or past Codex task, linked issue, PR, support report, or regression test. State the selected lanes and the reason for each before testing.

Targeted regression mode (default)

Select lanes by behavior, not by the existence of this checklist:

  • CLI parsing, output, or local DB access → CLI plus the closest contract tests.
  • Webhook endpoints, signing, or delivery retries → the webhook cases only.
  • Shared agent-access DTOs, exports, filtering, or pagination → every direct consumer, including hosted REST or remote MCP when affected, plus cross-surface parity only for the changed fields.
  • Hosted auth, snapshots, entitlements, isolation, purge, or Supabase policy → the affected hosted REST lifecycle and negative cases.
  • Local or remote MCP protocol/tool changes → that MCP lane and its direct transport/contract dependency.
  • Shared hosted REST/MCP behavior → both hosted consumers, but not unrelated local surfaces.

Run the closest affected automated tests, the original live reproduction, and only credible boundary cases. A Rust or shared-crate change does not trigger all lanes unless every lane consumes the changed behavior. Create only the minimum non-sensitive fixture required for the selected checks. If a required deployment, account, fixture, or client is unavailable, mark that check BLOCKED; do not substitute unrelated lanes. Stop when the mapped risks are covered.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
